Terrence Emmanuel "Terry" Boddie is a mixed-media contemporary artist known for his explorative and conceptual photographs on memory and history.[1] Born and raised on Nevis, Boddie left the island during his teenage years to emigrate to the United States in New York City and develop his identity as an individual and as a creator, currently based there working as an artist and educator.[2]
Biography[edit]
Terrence Emmanuel Boddie was born and raised on the Caribbean island of Nevis, soon leaving the island at 15 years old to the Bronx in New York where he would be introduced to photography and graphic design during his years as a high school student.[2] Boddie has two older sisters.[1] At an early age Boddie was involved in creative interests, often making objects for his own entertainment.[3] Not much is documented on Terry Boddie's time on Nevis and after his emigration to the United States, but his home island would impact much of his work later on. Boddie is a contemporary artist whose work is reminiscent of surrealism and the Neo-Dada movement, using materials beyond the photographic process to create and collage elements together into a cumulative piece. Currently, Boddie works as a creative director at Oualie Art, a fine art studio based in New Jersey, and as an adjunct professor at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts.[4] In an interview with Ishka Designs, Boddie has stated that architecture would have been his alternate career choice because of his interest in the design of structures.[3] Boddie was an artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in New York from 1999 to 2000, collaborating with fellow residential artist Nicole Awai in 2001 to curate their mixed-media installation Panyard.[5]
Education[edit]
Boddie got his start in black-and-white film photography, exploring how he would use the camera and create images as a way to connect with people and the city around him.[2] Boddie would then pursue the arts academically and earn two degrees, a BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 1989 and an MFA from Hunter College in 1997.[6] After graduating from NYU, Boddie was advised from a friend to pursue an education further as an artist at Hunter College.[7]
Artworks[edit]
Boddie uses an assortment of mediums and materials like gelatin silver emulsion, cyanotype, and oil paint to combine those pieces into a larger artwork, oftentimes appearing as though the art piece was created using one method rather than several.[3] A recurring idea within Boddie's work is his fascination with memory and its tendency to either be a capture every little detail or a hazy callback to the past.[8]
The Residue of Memory[edit]
Residue of Memory is a series from 2009 compiled of photographs and artworks that explores how memory is captured and remembered through the various mediums and materials used, "re-envisioning" how remembrance may appear at times.[8] Boddie is particularly fond of and explores the idea of recording a memory, noticing that a camera can capture every single detail from light onto film but mark making conversely involves the artist to rely on their creativity and recollection.[8] Boddie explores the theme at what can exactly be "truth" when the two artistic processes are very different from one another.[8] As stated by Boddie in his publication for the Small Axe Project, other themes within this photographic series include the "[i]ssues of exile, migration, globalization and the role of memory in retaining cultural traditions..."[8]
Coal Man[edit]
Coal Man is a 2012 documentary styled photographic series chronicling the life of Cuthbert Clarke, who was taught by Boddie's grandfather and one of the last coal men on Nevis representing the culture of creating charcoal.[9] This series plays on themes of environmental health, passing on knowledge, culture, and labor through the images documenting Clarke.[9] Coal Man was showcased at the Kedar Studio of Art in New Jersey from May 19 to June 16 in 2012 and was awarded the George and Helen Segal Foundation Photography Grant in that same year, helping fund the second phase of the Coal Man series.[10]

Boddie's work has been featured in many exhibitions, most prominently at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC and The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York.[16]
Boddie's inspiration for his early photographic works come from his exploration of the camera and the city, as well as his desire to find his own identity in a new home.[2] Boddie's multimedia series, Residual Memory, was inspired from an encounter with his childhood friend in Nevis after leaving the island for so long, forgetting who is friend was and leading to the exploration of history and memory that resulted in his series.[2] His later projects would also follow a similar workflow, using personal confrontations and historical events to create inspired artworks.[2]
Collections[edit]
Some of boddie's work is housed at museums on the east coast of the United States.[16] In particular, his 2001 photographic print Blueprint can be found at the National Museum of African American History and Culture and his color offset lithograph of the same year Knowledge can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.[17][18]
